Description

Pic

CHOW is a digital ditortion effect designed for maximum truculence, somewhere between a true half-wave rectifier and a noisy vintage compressor. Useful for mixing guitars, drums, even vocals when a heavily degraded sound is desired. Feel free to build and use for your own enjoyment!

CHOW is currently available in the following formats:

  • VST
  • VST3
  • AU
  • Standalone plugin
